Salman, Katrina, and Anil in Yuvvraaj

Came across an intriguing piece at this BBC link. After reading the first couple of paragraphs under 'Bollywood inspired', my vote for the most silly but funny text message to someone fancied might just go to this (not!): Tu meri hai Pepsi Cola, Main tera hoon Coca Cola (you are my Pepsi Cola, I am your Coca Cola; right...). Anyone remember which film it's from? Here's a hint: It starred Salman Khan and an actress with the initials KK.

Speaking of Salman and KK, Yuvvraaj is scheduled to release on November 21. ('Yuvraaj', with a single 'v', means 'prince'.) Also starring Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Zayed Khan, and Boman Irani. Among the many reasons to look forward to it are that it's a film by Shubhash Ghai, with music by A. R. Rahman and lyrics by Gulzar. The choreography is by Shiamak Davar, whose past works include Taare Zameen Par (2007), Saawariya (2007), Taal (1999), and Dil To Paagal Hai (1997).

Per the filmmaker here, it "is about the over-confidence of today's youth. Every one wants to be a rock star, regardless of whether they have the morals to go with the appellation". Interesting. I'm really looking forward to it after seeing these first two trailers (you can also see them at the official website noted at the bottom of this post). Here's the teaser, in which Katrina's looking mighty hot, especially in her first frame:

And here's the one featuring Salman and Katrina:

The soundtrack releases in about a week, and I'll hope to share commentary on it soon. I guess Tu Hi To Meri Dost Hai (only you are my friend) would be too sophisticated for a text message, but given it's a Salman flick, there will surely be some silly but genuinely funny one liners, don't you think?

Hi Ajnabi: I think so, yes! Rock stars with morals are cool :) I've enjoyed countless movies with this cast and crew, so I'm there day one. Ghai's talking of Salman the actor versus Salman the entertainer, and it'll be great to see him in a role that allows him to use both.

Hi Cindy: That's a good one, eh? Although incomplete without mango! And yes, it would be nice to save some food groups for later. Then again, there's always Pepsi and Coke to fill the void, LOL...thank you for stopping by! Do come again.

That's from "Judwa"! 2 sallus for the price of one :)Thats such a nutty article :)

Totally enthu about Yuvraj now- they all look so good- and i am digging the production values. Like Ajnabi though, am worried about the "rock star line. Also have been watching the "Hello" commercials, and Salman appears just so ANIMATED! Its like watching a 3D Johnny Bravo anime :)

Shweta: You got it! From Judwaa it is, the song Tan Tana Tan. 3D Johnny Bravo anime sounds right! Salman and Katrina have special appearances in Hello...I doubt there's anyone better to play rock star than him. Although the rock star in Yuvvraaj will be one of Salman, Anil, or Zayed.

Memsaab: Great try, and you got the pairing right! I don't remember much of Biwi No. 1, maybe should try revisiting.

Don't u think Lolo and Sallu made a great pair? They had awesome chemistry in all the films they appeared in, incl. Andaz Apna Apna (loved the eyelash fluttering scenes), Biwi no 1 and Judwaa. I wish Lolo would make a comeback. I am looking fwd to catching her on Nach Baliye 4 (she's a judge).

Oh, Lolo and Sallu were great together! I think it'd be fair to say they easily kept up with Aamir and Raveena in Andaz Apna Apna -- and that's saying a lot! Funny you mention it, because I just saw AAA again this weekend. Those eye fluttering scenes are amazingly well done! :D

Let's hope Lolo decides to make a comeback sometime soon! And thanks for that note on Nach Baliye. I'll be on the look out for it.
